Crazy Players, the Difficulties of a Long Voyage

And so, Gao Linzhi kept dying, reviving, dying again, and reviving again, constantly holding off his opponent.

He didn't know if anyone else had done the same thing, but it was certainly rare.

Only a true player would do something like this: using resurrection to Farm BOSS's health bar.

He went to defend the BOSS, which is much crazier than the players.

These days, you can't live without being crazy.

In the end, Gao Linzhi spent a total of 100,000 Skyfall Stone.

Compared to his more than 200 million Skyfall Stone, it's just a drop in the ocean.

At times like this, Gao Linzhi would always recall seeing whales spending hundreds of millions of in-game currency when he played mini-games in his previous life.

They can spend millions, while ordinary people and Small V are still carefully calculating how to save a few hundred gold coins every day.

The two are not even related to the same game.

Of course, if Gao Linzhi stuck at level one, the cooldown time required to revive him will be terrifyingly long.

That would require a massive amount of Skyfall Stone to clear it.

That's a level that even whales (players who spend real money) can't withstand.

Gao Linzhi then glanced at the receding reefs and went back to call the others.

"Alright, problem solved."

"Now board the ship, raise the sails, and set sail!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they boarded the Treasure Ship with trepidation.

"That's an immeasurable behemoth, how are we going to deal with it?" Bored muttered to the single-player game behind him.

"Heh, use you guys to solve it? Just feed you to it, that should do the trick," the single-player player mocked.

Bored, he felt a strong sense of dread, and was constantly prepared to shield the others in front of him.

As it turned out, he was overthinking it.

When the group boarded the Treasure Ship again and arrived at the reef area once more.

They were stunned.

The layers upon layers of reefs that stretched to the horizon have completely disappeared.

All that remained before me was a tranquil place.

A sense of tranquility and solemnity rose from the boundless ocean.

It has to be said, all of this is simply too wonderful.

Subsequently, under Gao Linzhi's control, the Treasure Ship traversed the ocean.

As they crossed the rocky outcrops, everyone was filled with trepidation, fearing they might be swallowed whole.

It turned out that all my worries were for nothing.

Nothing happened.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Very good!"

"Look, our points on the Island Ranking have reached 1010!"

"Great! We've made it!"

"There's also a reward notification."

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully breaking the 1000-kilometer mark. Your points reward will now be doubled."

"For every additional 10 kilometers, the points increase to 20, 40, 60, 80..."

"Great! This will allow us to widen the gap with those behind us completely!"

At the same time.

In the Official Built-in Group.

There was an uproar.

"Holy crap, Canxue, those guys were 1000 kilometers away and didn't move for a whole day. I thought they were too scared to charge," Kongkong exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, if that's the case, then we have a chance. We've already reached 800 kilometers. As long as we get around that Black Sheep in the sea, we can continue to go deeper," Pig Realm 3001 said helplessly.

"What a pity, I was hoping to steal one last time, but they've moved up again!" sighed Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao.

"You're overthinking it. Trying to steal? Do you really think the big shots don't respect the rankings? They're watching us too, and besides, there's a traitor in this group."

"Damn it, even with our whole group working together, we can't beat them. Is there any justice in this world?"

"What exactly is this guy's talent? Why is he so amazing?"

"We cannot allow such an awesome person to exist!"

A chorus of lamentations erupted in the internal group chat.

"This guy is the kind of person who wouldn't join the group even after being invited three times, so his current behavior is normal."

Jiangnan1912 is spying on me, it's so satisfying.

Looking at these sand sculptures, all I can do is stand in the dust.

The Treasure Ship sailed on the sea.

Before they knew it, the ship had sailed far away, hundreds of kilometers away from the reefs.

On the navigation leaderboard, it has already sailed 1,500 kilometers.

They completely left the second place behind.

Amidst everyone's excitement...

Suddenly, a melodious song echoed from the boundless seabed.

Grand, vast, supreme, perfect, inclusive, tranquil...

It's so captivating that you can't help but be drawn into it.

"Let go of everything, let go of the past, give up the present, give up the future..."

"Abandon yourself, return to nature, return to the embrace of God..."

"I used to be anxious and persistent; now I have an open mind."

"I used to eat fish blindly; now I'm free and at ease."

The melodious song makes one unconsciously abandon oneself.

Gao Linzhi frowned as he looked at the group of people who walked out of the cabin with smiles on their faces.

"Qingcheng*Bored," "Puppet Best, " Xu Gou," "Dragon Fruit," " Jiangnan1912 "...

Their eyes were unfocused, as if they were lost in a beautiful dream.

But not long after, some people started going crazy.

Bored, she suddenly grabbed "The Puppet Best" and roared at her:

"Tell me, where is my share of the money?"

Where is my money?

"Give it back to me right now!"

The Puppet Best; it flung him aside and sneered:

"Hmph, as expected, no one is reliable."

"Just ten tons of gold, and you're this crazy?"

"There are no reliable people in this world. The only people you can trust are yourself and your puppets!"

"Hahaha!"

"I want to create a world where only I and my puppets exist!"

"Hahahaha..."

Good heavens, they've all gone mad.

Gao Linzhi did not stop them immediately.

Because these guys are telling the truth.

Xu Gou suddenly knelt on the ground. "Ah, thank the gods, for letting me meet my current master."

"I will serve my master with utmost loyalty, even unto death!"

Jiangnan1912, on the other hand, was struggling, like a drunkard who still had a sliver of sobriety.

He barely managed to keep himself from losing his composure.

However, as the music grew wider and grander, he eventually lost his senses.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

"To be a good person, you must let go of everything!"

"What family, what responsibility? They're just constraints!"

"Of all things under heaven, none is more important than death!"

"I want Immortality! I want to survive until the very end!"

"Hahaha, nobody knew my talent would be..."

In the end, he seemed to suddenly realize something, but didn't say it aloud.

Gao Linzhi, however, had guessed it.

The other party probably possesses a talent related to "Immortality".

Several more players were shouting and yelling there.

"God, forgive my sins!"

"I once killed a chicken. I didn't mean to, but I just really wanted to eat meat."

"I once stole something from someone, and when the teacher asked about it, I pretended not to know, which resulted in another classmate being wrongly accused..."

Gao Linzhi glanced at the sea, then looked back at the vanished reefs.

He suddenly realized.

I see.

The truly terrifying truth is actually this.

The secret that the former Great Elder and the former Great Elder have always Protection.

That's actually it.

The giant is equivalent to a shepherd, or a farmer.

The sheepfold is nestled among the reefs.

Despite the many strange things on the island, these creatures do not possess the ability to exterminate others.

The entire island resembles a series of sheep pens.

Farmers regularly hunt their sheep, but they don't kill them off.

It even treats sheep and controls the populations of jackals, tigers, and leopards—like in the Sky Wolf Dynasty.

At least, Gao Linzhi has been on Wolf Snake Island for several months.

He has read many books about villages.

It was discovered that no major famine had occurred in these villages.

This was an extremely rare occurrence in a feudal village.

Now, with the existence of the farmer, everything becomes clear.

The farmer will not let the sheep go hungry.

If the flock truly doesn't have enough fodder, they will kill any extra sheep in advance.

Gao Linzhi shook his head.

He directly reached out and cast a Heavenly Clear Talisman, which brought everyone back to their senses.

After they regained consciousness, they seemed to have lost all memory of what had just happened, and they were still excited.

"Great! We've pulled so far ahead of second place!"

"Great! We've made it!"

They felt no fear whatsoever, unaware of one thing: if it weren't for Gao Linzhi, they would have been completely finished.

Blindly eating fish leads to nothing but drowning in the ocean.

Follow the song, and go with the gods.

How can people follow God?

Naturally, this only happens after death.

That's all.

Gao Linzhi led the group eastward, continuing their voyage.

He would throw out a dozen Exorcism Talisman every now and then.

Because as the distance increases, the effect of an Exorcism Talisman becomes less significant.

Often, the effect only lasts for about ten minutes after the shot is fired.

If this continues, the daily limit of 50 Exorcism Talisman will soon be insufficient.

Sure enough, the further they sailed, the more difficult it became.

The area within the reef group is strange and quite challenging.

Ultimately, it really is a beginner's village.

The game is set up correctly in this respect.

Once you get outside, you realize how simple the starting village was.

During the day, there are only some low-level monsters; at night, there are a few strange creatures that can be hidden.

They're at sea now.

The strange birds that occasionally flew across the sky.

They'll pounce on you at the drop of a hat.

They were so fast and had such powerful claws that the others had to hide inside the cabin.

Even so, it's still not safe.

The demonic bird will grab a handful of the Treasure Ship.

Without the Exorcism Talisman, the Treasure Ship would soon fall apart.

These demonic creatures alone are enough to form an insurmountable barrier.

Beneath the surface, strange octopuses, shells, seaweed, and jellyfish occasionally appear...

They circled the Treasure Ship, occasionally attempting to launch a sneak attack.

As for the strange things, the entire seabed is full of them.

Anyone who dares to look down into the sea will see terrifying faces and enormous, monstrous mouths swallowing the surface.

Soon, the monster will seize their mind and reason, and they will be thrown into the sea to become food for the monster.

Only Gao Linzhi, with his 297 spirit attribute and several resistance skills, was able to stay clear-headed and steer the Treasure Ship.

This Grand Voyage was essentially a survival-of-the-fittest tournament.

Only the truly strong can sail far.

For the Ordinary Player, walking 30 to 40 kilometers is already quite good.

The starting village is much better.

It can be said that the massive reef formation has kept many ferocious beasts out of the village.

From this perspective, Wolf Snake Island is actually quite nice.

At least many villagers lived to old age.

Of course, that's because it takes a very long time for a giant to eat.

Gao Linzhi wanted to go back and question the ancestral spirits in detail, believing they would provide much new information.

Soon.

This day.

It has been 20 days since the start of the Grand Voyage.

Gao Linzhi's Treasure Ship has already traveled three thousand kilometers with great difficulty.

Along the way, they saw many islands, but they didn't stop.

Some are surrounded by reefs, but most are not.

Gao Linzhi already understood.

It seems that being a farmer is a common occurrence in the Skyfall World.

This is the bizarre world built upon the concept of "weirdly raising humans."

Those fools who tried to introduce the bizarre to Blue Star had no idea what terrible things they were touching.

Those so-called high and mighty people, once their mystique is dispelled, will mostly turn out to be "contemptible people who eat meat and cannot plan for the long term."

There are always people who think that someone who has reached a high position must be incredibly shrewd.

In fact, quite the opposite is true. Their shrewdness is directed towards people, things, objects, science, and the laws of nature, but not towards them, because human energy is limited.

And at this time...

Suddenly, a flock of birds appeared in the sky.

They became excited when they saw Gao Linzhi.

One by one, they lined up in a long queue and began to rush towards Gao Linzhi's Treasure Ship.

Gao Linzhi cast Exorcism Talisman.

They paused only briefly before charging forward with even greater excitement.

Goodness, now we're starting to encounter the real problems.

Even whales (high spenders) face insurmountable game problems – problems that even the game's developers can't solve.

For example, a game company was forced to shut down its server room for renovations due to fire safety issues...

Gao Linzhi turned to look at the terrified crowd.

He shook his head and said, "You all go into the cabin first."

"A few more monsters are fine."

The group nervously crawled into the cabin.

Since the big shot has said so, it should be fine, right?

This is the true responsibility of a leader!

It's worth it for all their hard work and sucking up to the big boss.

They are now under the protection of a powerful figure.

Of course, some people have different thoughts: they also want to be big shots and have the same kind of prestige!

Gao Linzhi then flew into the air to meet the flock of birds.

In mid-air, he activated the privileges of Noble 22, which included a supreme-level enhanced version of the Auto-battle AI.

Skyfall Stone are consumed every hour based on the user's level.

He's only level one, so he only needs to use 10 per hour!

Getting something for free makes him happy!

Starting with the basic auto-battle privilege granted by lower-level Noble Privilege, the strength increases by 20% each time you reach Noble 22, eventually reaching the supreme enhanced version of Auto-battle AI.

Just then, three birds attacked him from one in front and one behind.

Even a skilled player would be flustered.

After all, the opponent was too fast.

The lead arrow fired a barrage of arrows, creating a direct, overwhelming barrage.

The two behind it flanked the target from both sides, leaving the target nowhere to escape.

Two pairs of steel claws, gleaming with a bloody light, were ready to rip their target apart at any moment.

Gao Linzhi, however, was as invisible as air.

After being hit by the arrow, he immediately stepped back slightly.

It was like being pushed along by a feather, with nothing at all.

Its lethality immediately dropped to 0.

It turned out that the airflow caused by the feather directly triggered the combat AI to receive the data and retreat at the same speed as the feather.

In this way, there will be no harm.
